Issue Details

When editing the Sequence File Properties of my sequence file in TestStand, under the 'Advanced' tab, I can select "No Model" as my model option:

Why would I want to do this? What is the advantage or use case of having a sequence execute with no process model?

Solution

They are usually used in the following cases:

  1. Sequence files that contain Utility sequences and are not meant to be executed using the process model

  2. Sequence files that do not need to a process model because they achieve the required "process model" functionality using other means. For example, they might be doing their own logging or report generation and do not want the process model to also generate a separate report.

It is also a baseline to create a new process model from scratch.
